Tim has been an entertainer with us for a few years now! Tim always brings his best when he entertains our residents. He usually brings new material to his shows and will often do a special song for any one of our residents because they suggested it, or the resident is from that culture. Tim is willing and able to help us out when we have needed an entertainer to fill in. Tim has also performed as a travelling entertainer around the home when needed. Our residents and family members ask for Tim when I am booking entertainment. Tim always puts on an engaging performance and sometimes it is hard to tell who is having the better time; the residents or Tim!!
Response from Tim The Entertainer:

Tim the Entertainer is very space efficient. I bring my own high quality sound system. I use a headset microphone and a guitar that doesn’t require plugging in. This leaves me free to wander which I do not to scare anyone but just to make the show more fun. I engage people in the party. We get some singalong going. I can manage some karaoke if required. The whole show fits in a small corner but it sounds like you hired a band!
Where to start? Tim the Entertainer is a recent incarnation of Tim Godfrey vocalist, guitarist, pianist, drummer, humorist, ans story teller. I have had big bands on big stages, small bands on small stages, and I even performed at a wine drinking party in the rain in Germany. I was also a Club Med Artist for a season in the Bahamas and Cancún singing and playing for the tourists. What a time that was! Tim the Entertainer 2024 blends all my experience as a band leader, vocalist, guitarist and story teller into a crazy melange of musical entertainment sure to amuse even the toughest critic. Let me entertain you! And I wrote this myself - AI had no part in it.
I need an electrical outlet. I bring everything else. If the load-in requires me to climb stairs I am the wrong guy to hire.
I call this my Boomer Only list. For older folks it would be more Sinatra and Tony Bennett

I play mostly cover material from the 1940s until about 2000. My main clientele were born around 1940 but the music from my own era starts with Elvis and ends with the beginning of rap around 1995. If you want rap or hip hop I am not your man. No disrespect - you won’t be happy with my repertoire.
